Put the 1st FC5 disc in. Choose Linux-rescue. You will be presented with
harddrive options. Choose the one that has FC5 on it, and you will end up
with a command prompt. Type. chroot /mnt/sysimage. Now you can reinstall
Grub on the Winblows drive. If Winblows is using hda, type.
grub-install /dev/hda . If all goes well, Grub should now be installed in
the MBR of the Winblows drive. Reboot, and you should have Grubs menu back.
